Happy Thanksgiving y’all

Awesome ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family both two and four legged

Always!! This beautiful pup looks so much like mine... I have an all-white husky who is often mistaken for a white shepherd. This boy is lucky to have made a friend like you 🥲

🎉🎉🎉

That is great news! 😄

❤❤❤

I agree 👍 ❤

Appreciate you spending time with us and Happy Barksgiving!

Between Rocky and Lee Asher I just can't get over the enormous ❤️❤️ they have!! Happy Thanksgiving Gobble Gobble

Best comment here! I agree!

Yes Lee Asher is fabulous!

Oh my gosh, your comment made me cry!! I pray Red's owner, and Red, do well. Bless you, and everyone!!

God bless you! I hope it worked out!

I wish you luck

Hope the meeting with Red went well and you were able to give him a home! What a beautiful thing to do.

Did you adopt Red? I so hope you guys did and you have a great family!

I know that poor crying fur baby 😢

That’s what’s so 💔they all do!

Listen to the end! ALL of the dogs got barksgiving!

It looks like a young dog too bless it.

Then maybe you could volunteer your time to help the crying dog. Or better yet why don't you take him home forever. He will not cry no more. He was only one person.

❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so sorry..........may God keep giving you strength.............

I hope this story gave you some solace. ❤

seems almost like fate....need a dog?

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Asher is a beautiful name, it’s what I chose for my son after I read that it meant felicitous. I hope you were surrounded by love this Thanksgiving. Hugs from a random internet stranger down under 🐨🤗

Easily the most difficult part when viewing this video was hearing all the dogs in the background; heartbreaking.

@@David-wo9un~ Yes. I'm going to think _all_ the kids got the same after filming.

Breaks my heart too 😢just hearing the other fur-babies crying makes me feel like crying…

If you watch to the end….. he brought a meal for all of the dogs.

@@jamiedurling6176 I did watch the entire video, but their cries still make my heart break… since I have been in rescuing for many decades, I feel for them…

Poor thing.

My heart goes out to all of the poor dogs!😭

Wasn’t it a lab?

oh yes same... I just hope he had some cuddles and barks giving menu too..

And the first dog was begging with his eyes to be noticed! 😢😢

I agree he’s going to be a great family member when he figures out he’s safe and everyone is on his side now.

If all the good "pure" people stayed OFF the internet, refusing to give a sh-t about 12yr old US or 22 yr old Russian trollers, the internet would TRULY be the swamp that you perceived. Hey, do you ever go to beautiful music sites, or spiritual or scientific sites that make you feel good about people? I hope so!!!🎉

My dogs are pets, not members of the family. There's a difference.

Happy Barksgiving!

You should have happy barks giving on your t shirts

I see these videos and I just cry, they just want to be loved 🥺🤗😇

With family waiting for this year's Christmas Boat parade. I pulled up your videos to show while waiting. My brother in law immediately said " I want to do that ". How do you start out with this ?

Hi, I would just like to let you know, because it is so so so important for our species. That prayer gets in the way of real solutions. People often choose prayer over medical care for example, this leads them into really bad spots, or worse. People pray instead of actually doing their bit to help. I know you think prayer works, but all the statistics and evidence shows prayer only has negative effects. I imagine you're thinking, 'why won't you just leave me be and let me have my beliefs.' Well, it's people believing things without sufficient evidence that leads to so many problems in the world. I'm sorry, but you don't have sufficient evidence. You may believe you do, but that's only because you likely have never learned about standards of evidence, or when evidence is sufficient to warrant reaching a conclusion. If you are interested in learning more, I'll be happy to help you. Recovering from religion is a long journey, the first victims of any religion are its followers.

​@@WhoThisMonkeybruh... this person is not causing harm whatsoever, and is wishing for the best for the other dog crying in the shelter. It is not your place to try and force people to stop being religious. Disrespectful and not cool.

Yep well spotted👍

Mine too. 😢

Me too!! It’s unbearable, just want to comfort them so badly! 😢❤️

I noticed the dog in the next stall became more vocal when he was saying ‘Good boy’ . I felt the dog was frustrated because he recognised those words and responded to it 😞.

Mine to

I felt the same way. I think we're supposed to think the placid white dog he's sitting with is the real dog needling love and attention.

That's wonderful Thomas! I love dogs and have had 3 but would be too nervous to do this kind of work -- I really admire anyone who can do this kind of work to help save so many dogs.

Kudos to people like you 🥰

I noticed that Arthur didn't even wolf down his dinner like many dogs do in the company of other people. If I lived over there (I'm in the UK) I would adopt him in a heartbeat. He will make his new home a safe, fun and friendly place and his new family will feel very lucky to have him. Do you know?

What state is this beautiful boy in?

Thanks for info

I don't think he needs to be this cautious around this dog. Just giving him treats with eye contact will do it quicker. He just is trying to squeeze out a 11m video on 30 seconds worth of content

@PostSasso He is trying to show an apparently neglected dog that not ALL humans are evil or mean! He did this smartly, making him a lot more apt to be adopted within a very short time of becoming eligible. If he had just rushed in, chances are the dog would either (1) have cowered in the corner or (2) attempted to attack him reasonably quickly because he doesn't seem to trust people, and it's just possible that he has good reasons to be that way!

@@PostSasso This is a 25 minute video, so...no.

Oh what a sweet gentle baby! I had a sweet sweet dog named Lilly for 17 years, she was the sweetest most gentle dog just like this guy. ❤ so so fun to watch him enjoy his yummy food ❤

​@PostSasso so you're a dog trainer? Or are you just being annoying?

I have 2 rescues, one for 2 years and one for about a year and a half Both came from abusive homes, one was severe physical abuse She was so terrified of humans she would shake if you came near her and pee herself if your foot came close when walking by Flash forward to now: They are 2 of the sweetest dogs on earth! Gracie (the very abused one) took about 6 months of solid and slow, VERY slow, steps of TLC and she is now my stalker! She has to be near me or have me in sight and she has lost all fear of humans! My neighbors love my dogs and bring them treats to my screened in front porch and when I have a friend in the house both dogs go crazy just wanting love and pets. Too bad us humans are unable to truly let go of a troubled past because apparently once a dog decide to let go, it is GONE! Please, anyone reading this, do not hesitate to adopt a dog who needs special attention IF you have a quiet house and lots of time and patience.

I adopted a dog from a am elderly man who was up in years and could care for the dog like he wanted to it was heart breaking for him, I’m really glad I did, I had lost the family dog due to illness and I missed him terribly.. so this dog follows me everywhere his name is Lucky ❤ he’s such a sweetheart and loves everybody and gets so excited when someone comes to visit and funny oh goodness he’s a character

I am 78 now. I've had 7 dog rescues and over 50cat rescues in my life. Two of my pups came from the Animal Defense League. The others were all street rescues. each camew with issues and turned out to be the most fabulous pups! Each lived to a be a an old dog. There were illnesses along the way sure. But there was so much joy and love and laughter the only things I would change were my responses to some illnesses. Oh how I loved my puppies!!!!!! ❤️🐾❤️

@@patrickplayspokerbadly6230 very nice! They definitely need a lot of patience and understanding in the first few months. Once they learn to trust again it is a beautiful thing witness. Mine would not come near me for about 3 weeks but always wanted one of my socks with her when she slept. Now the only issue is she is now extremely attached to me and never wants to be alone ... ever! It can be challenging when going places but most people know that if I am being invited then so is the dog and it always works out. Plus she loves children and other dogs and has never been aggressive. She will be 15 in June.

I’ve had my former puppy mill momma for 11 years. She would pull back when you tried to pick her up to get in the car for about 9 years. Certain beeping noises would set her off. She’s deaf now and for the first time in her life, she’s relaxed. She was my second rescue, both Cairns. But they were night and day because she was damaged by a greedy, lazy human who profited off her. No dog deserves to be mistreated or not loved. They have the purest hearts and they can love when loved, no matter the hurt they’ve gone thru.

It is called The Asher House and I love his videos, the dogs worship him as he does them. It is in Oregon. There is one in Austraila called The Farm love to watch them both. Also I live next to Austin where a guy with a bus picks up the animals to go to doggie daycare. I think the farm closed in 2022 but his videos are still on you tube and so much fun.

I watch him on KZfaq,Also!!

I can guarantee you though that Lee Asher does not use the dominance or alpha theory in his training.

I was thinking the same thing. I sounds like the dog next door is having a tough time as well and if anyone’s going to give that poor dog love too

So happy for this dog. But Yes I was also thinking the same about the other dog. I pray they all get the love they so need and deserve @@patd5280

I was thinking the same.

Did you not watch the full video? They all got barksgiving.

@@davidhendrix4612 maybe they didn't, but is that so bad? I tried myself to watch the entire video, but I had to leave before the end and sometimes you just can't get back to things. And they asked, they didn't accuse. Be kind ❤

With our current dog, the experience started out the same as yours - she was cowering on her little bed in the back of the cage while all the other dogs were barking - but she was easy to handle, and basically crawled in my lap, then my wifes, and then back into mine. She was just so happy to be away from the other dogs. Still, best dog ever - she's been with us now longer than she's been in every other home and shelter combined.

Lol! Same but different here. I walked past her kennel and each time she was the only dog sitting down but wagging her tail. I was scared of dogs so the others all jumping and barking frightened me. For a month I don't know which of us was more scared! I'd go to touch her and she'd move away, she came near me and I freaked!! We were together over 16 years and I adored her as much as she did me - 3 collies later I still miss her. They are wonderful creatures and only need a bit of love x

You give me hope for this world! Much love and admiration.

I wish you many better days in your future!

Bless you! ❤️

Congrats on your sobriety and continued recovery. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! You have much to be thankful for.

Gorgeous Boy Asher❤️

Good luck Dear ! I am wishing happiness ahead for you !

White shepherds are special. I had one many years ago, never could figure out if he was so dumb or so smart. I finally figured he was smart enough to know when to play dumb.

@@5610winston my mum also has one and he is literally dumb. like out of the breeder-group he was "weird" to begin with. they even checked for brain issue but he doesn't have one. he is literally not smart and often just stands there because he doesn'T understand xD he is also not easy to handle. thing is white shepherds have to be handled right when a pup. they need clear rules or later they will become unbearable.

Yes beautiful dog so gentle and intelligent ❤️🐾 He deserves to go to a good home . I pray he does. Thank you Rocky for sharing Barksgiving with him. I gave my 2 rescue dogs turkey.and mashed potatoes and gravy and they love it. ❤🐕💕🐶 Asher is a great name and a tribe from Israel.

God bless you Rocky ❤ Asher loves his yummy meal. 😊

​​@@5610winston i've never seen someone else with this story!! He sounds like a truly special companion ♥️ my parents rescued Aussies; we realized our giant "dumb muscle" Aussie-Catahoula was ONLY dumb when he knew we were watching (you "forgot" where your toys are? the drawer YOU OPENED 10 minutes ago?) Only of 3 aussies to pass & be certified as a therapy dog too. loved watching Cujo on the TV, "talked"/yowled back like a husky.... R.I.P. Pepper "Best Dog Ever" Jack, your short life was the highlight of ours

Happy Barksgiving!

Just goes to show that certification is good, but compassion, patience and love are even better.

@@vickiroman189 You're absolutely right!

The vowel thing is an awesome idea - nice one.

Wow I never thought to do that and I’ve rescued many animals I’ll have to try that next time

Sounds the same Bucky 😍

Maybe he just knew he was lucky for finding you and your family!

Thank you for helping that poor pup and finding his owner!!!!❤

Thank you for using the term 'companion'...they are not children but animals in their own right. I think the need for some humans to infantalise them can lead to problems down the road...just my thoughts. Great work, Rocky and team.

My son's name is Asher. Lol means most blessed.

Me too.😊

I feel exactly the same, I wish I have a lot of money and buy a build a house with big yard for all the homeless dogs.

I totally agree😊

Yep. He'll let someone pet him when he knows them. Shepherds aren't like labs - they don't love everyone indiscriminately. You have to earn their love 😅

Asher is definitely food motivated. Should take to training no problem. ❤️

What about the poor dog who's crying? He needs attention, too.

My cousin had a white shepherd, he was an excellent dog.

My white shepherd, Riley, is a complete loveable derp of a pupper. I'm so glad she rescued us.

My white shepherd was also my best friend, he crossed the rainbow bridge 6 years ago and even now my heart is still broken. Will never get another dog like him. Immaculate temperament, impeccable behaviour and so so clever. He lived for his family and I will always have a huge hole in my heart that his paws once filled. I hope this beautiful shepherd finds himself a loving family. He deserves to be loved unconditionally.

All-white and all-black shepherds are gorgeous.

I agree, I had one 40 years ago, he live to be in his high teens, close to 20 years old too!!

Nice

What a wonderful new beginning for you all.

Foster failure? Congratulations!

I hope you keep him my GS is about 15 years old

You wonderful wonderful person 🙏🏽🌹

Thank you for your kindness!

Bless you!!! ❤

Yes! Lol

@@jwick4320 Yay.....Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving !

My mom would watch him when she was ironing!

I remember Jack LaLaine.....❤

I used to watch with my mom when I was about 3 or 4 years old and later on when I was 10 or 11.

I felt so sorry for that dog next door who was barking and whining 😢

@@carolwilliams8511 Me, too. 😢

@@carolwilliams8511 Sounds like they all got a Barksgiving, so not so sad.

We have a swiss shepherd as well. And Asher looks just like him. He is probably not used to petting on your lap ( or sitting on a sofa eg). I also didn't read any fear or stress in his earpositions. Try playing with a ball, most of these shepherds looooove that. Greetings from the Netherlands. P.s. They usually love scratching on their shoulders, hip and chest.

I have one too. I just want to hug him. Sweet boy. Love white shepherds.

I also had one, lived until fifteen and half, she was great dog and got melanoma. Found out white dogs get it more than others and there is a melanoma vaccine (which is expensive but worth the money).

I've owned 2 purebred White German Shepherds. I would take this dog in a heartbeat......

I got one too! they are so sweet, friendly and loving... melts my heart to see Ashers in a cage

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We have two dogs that were rescued but not through a rescue we just took them in when they needed a home. We also have 11 month old brother and sisters the female is deaf and I can't imagine our home without them although it's a lot of responsibility. They have a large fenced yard, lots of love and give us back more. You are so kind God will bless you.

All of my cats and dogs has been rescued except 1. I love to rescue animals, they rescue me right back.

Same. I've just adopted a Cane Corso his,family lost their home and can't take him where their going they've lived and cared for him so well it's really sad. So you can get "pure" bred dogs in shelters if that's what you care about, that would rule you out for adopting imo, adopt don't shape these dogs are amazing and it's not their fault they're in a shelter.

I had a Black Cat rescued from a snowstorm on a Massachusetts Highway. Indeed, she knew & appreciated she had been rescued because she was facing death on that freezing night when a lady passenger in a truck began to hit her husband with a newspaper while yelling "Stop, Stop, Stop". Then, "back up slowly!".

❤😊

❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤​@@K.Hillary

I came across this amazing guy accidentally and cannot stop watching!! His methods make so much sense. I wish I could adopt every dog

Thank you Rocky for all that you do…… you are a prince of a man … I think all your doggie friends would say the same thing. Happy barksgiving.

My same reaction when I first saw his videos. He is such a BLESSING. I wish I was in a position to do more cuz these dogs break my heart. I love ALLLLLLLLLL of them.❤❤❤

Well said, same here! God bless you both!

That's how I felt when I found the channel

I heard that too and thought his name might be Miles or something similar

💯

He probably belonged to someone who died or went into a nursing home and a relative dumped him.

@@paulatiredofthisshitya know, I never even considered that but you’re absolutely right. He’s so sweet…..and that’s why I’ve given instructions to my brother about my 2 dogs if anything happens to me.

​@@paulatiredofthisshityeah, my thoughts too. He's so hungry and from his look, been on the streets looking for enough food to eat for since time

Happy Thanksgiving, friend. Dogs make everything better. 😊. Be well.

Hi...don't know why you were alone for Thanksgiving but there are worse things. I spent one alone. It was better than arguing with my parents! It was peaceful and I was able to nap!!! Lol What about Christmas? Will you be alone then, too? Let me know!!!

Yeah that was cruel. I hope they did give them something

Later on in the video that they provided meals for all the animals

you allow this pup to cry too long.....move on a little faster in your next video....how would you like it if you were hungry and someone teased you this way?????

Im sure thats ALL of them.

You do such a wonderful thing. I want to follow your tracks. Lost my dog in April 2023. Been broken hearted ever since. She was 19 years old.

I got her as a "unsaveable" dog. But I had here for almost 15 years.

The dog is already very polite and well upbringed, it's not an dog born in the streets. It's gonna go well for this one.

I wish I could take him….but I’m in the UK. Xx

@@autumnangel3001 Feel the same and live even further away. We humans got an responsibility to dogs. We created them, not GOD, who made wolfes. They are our first creation and our responsibility to care for. They are made to be our best friends.

You are right. Greetings from Poland.

He did end up feeding them all. Did you not even watch the whole video?

Watch the full video and you would know he did.

I would hate myself if I was able to choose one, all of them or none. They all need love and attention. My poor, lonely, locked up babies😢❤❤❤

I know maybe you could handle the overwhelming need too?

Even a dog that shows no signs of aggression can go from 0 to 100 really quick.

Exactly

@@JazmyneDay-ee5pp ⚽️⚽️👀

Just love and a good home there is nothing wrong with this dog its smart and is like why and wtf . Got lost just been a while its to well behaved that dog was cared for

So cool🥰

😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I literally could not continue with thw white dog while that poor pug whined and cried pathetically sad. I just cant.

I think the dog next door was hearing all the love, the "good boy" language and longed desperately for the same attention

They all get attention by someone. A bath and checkup. They all got special treats.

He is just one person and doing the job of an army of neglecters. He really do a great difference for those poor souls including the one who's barking in the background. I think the best thing to do for ppl who find faults in his videos is the ppl to personally get involved and do something

Same, we had a white German Shepherd , named Zena, I miss her alot!, she was like a polar bear, she was a farm puppy

My thoughts as well. He definitely seems like a very well-socialized dog that is cared for.

he's definitely a sweet dog that's found himself in a scary place.

His ribs are showing.

Those nails are worn down by walking on pavement.

the dog does look cared for. looks a little hungry. That said i think if i cared for my dog i would have checked with the animal control. if the family comes they will need some education.

so sad

And he’s so gentle!

It's already clear that he's very loving, too. ❤

Yes I love his giant ears 😍💕 I love playing with my husky's ears (yes I know the dog in this video is not a husky)

I think he is White Sheppard. Those are beauty! My in-laws had one. He was most friendliest and kindest dog I have ever met. So this video made me little bit sad. The person who made he feel like that is a monster. I hope he can trust people again, then he surely be the most wonderful dog.

@@jonnah. It is a white shepherd. I had a purebred femal one that looked just like Asher.

He has kelpie ears

You are a saint among men! I bet you go home and cry after such heart wrenching stories. All my dogs (8 over the last 40 years give or take) were homeless. I still have my 9 year old Akita but after she is called away I will morne for her and grieve just like all the others.😢

That's right. I agree 100%
